I am joining in the linky party .. beyond the picket fence.... 100 ideas under $100! Happy Saturday all... my living area is back in order. As mentioned in earlier post I had a plan to remodel dining room only.. Since the dining and living connected I had to paint both rooms to flow. While in the process I moved many pieces around the house to give this room a new look for no expense. My cost to makeover the living room... paint and labor of love! My old paint color was "Sands of Time" .. new paint color is Ralph Lauren "Natural Canvas" Same color I painted my kitchen last year. I love it! ALSO... while we were painting the dining & living also painted the ceilings the same color for a warm and cozy feel. It totally gives you a different feel in these rooms. Painted all crown and floor molding "Seaside Sand" |
This is the only recent photo I have of the living where you can see the layout of the living area. This was taken at Christmas. You can see where I had the sofa at angle in front of the windows. After 8 years of angling the sofa I was really tired of it and I have 2 huge windows behind the couch. I was ready to take advantage of the huge window and light they bring in. The black mirror you see in far left hand corner is now in the dining room (revealing soon) and the tea cart in same corner was only in living area for holiday to allow more space for tree in dining area. The tea cart is now in the Shabby Room. |
BEFORE: This was the long wall in the living area. The cross collection and the blessed are now hanging in my hallway. The black pedestal holding the fern is now in the dining area. |
Where the cross collection use to hang is now the print of red roses and underneath is a very old sampler... HOME SWEET HOME.. (Click on photo to enlarge) |
The Queen Anne chairs now sit in front of the windows... i love them there. The table between the chairs is a goodwill find - top is marble. Walls bare here.. enjoying the new paint for now. |
Thanks for stopping by! Please share your comments! thoughts!
Hugs..

Hey Valarie,
Love the new paint color and the furniture placement changes. All your hard work really paid off!!! Hope to see you soon...I will stop by and see your new rooms soon.
Valarie, it looks great! I always admire your accessories. Love the fabric mix on your furniture too. The new paint is perfect. Don't worry too much about the big TV...we have one now too...not my thing. What's a girl to do?
One more thing, have I ever told you that I love your shutters? They are so perfect in a cottage. We have them on the front of our house. I wish they were everywhere.
Hi Valarie! I'm having a giveaway of a khaki jacket in honor or reaching 300 followers. One of my lucky followers will win and I didn't want to end the giveaway without letting you know. Come see... its a nice jacket.

You have a lovely home, really enjoyed the tour.
Wow! The whole room looks amazing! I love your arm chairs and mirrors. The lamp resting behind one arm chair is beautiful -where did you find it? The 'rose' painting is something special and I love your wooden floors.
As a result of the paint colours you have chosen the room looks so welcome and inviting. Can't wait to see your dining room.
